Description of Related Art

As personal electronic products nowadays has been becoming more and morecompact, the internal components of the electronic products are alsorequired to be smaller in size than before. Except for the demand ofminiaturization, the advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologiesreducing the pixel size of sensors have also pushed compact opticalsystems to evolve toward the field of higher megapixels. In addition,the popularity of smart phones and tablet personal computers alsosignificantly increases the requirements for high resolution and imagequality of present compact optical systems. Therefore, there is also anincreasing demand for compact optical systems featuring better imagequality.

In a conventional five-element optical system, the fourth lens elementgenerally has a convex image-side surface. However, under thisconfiguration, the convex image-side surface of the fourth lens elementhas a larger curvature and the variation of the thickness of the lens ismore pronounced, thus shortcomings, such as formation difficulties oflenses and excessive optical sensitivity may occur easily. Moreover, therefractive power of the second lens element in the conventionalfive-element optical system is usually poorly distributed and unable toeffectively balance the positive refractive power of the first lenselement, thus the light will bend drastically and the aberration cannotbe eliminated easily.

Therefore, a need exists in the art for an optical system that featurescompact size, better image quality, and an appropriate sensitivity ofthe system.

In the aforementioned image capturing optical system, every two lenselements of the first lens element, the second lens element, the thirdlens element, the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element have atleast one air gap in between. Each of the first through fifth lenselements is a single and non-cemented lens element. That is, any twolens elements adjacent to each other are not cemented, and there is aspace between the two lens elements. Moreover, the manufacturing processof the cemented lenses is more complex than the non-cemented lenses. Inparticular, a second surface of one lens element and a first surface ofthe following lens element need to have accurate curvature to ensurethese two lens elements will be highly cemented. However, during thecementing process, those two lens elements might not be highly cementeddue to misalignment issues and it is thereby not favorable for the imagequality of the image capturing optical system. Therefore, the imagecapturing optical system of the present disclosure provides fivenon-cemented lens elements for improving the problem generated by thecemented lens elements.

The first lens element has positive refractive power, so that itprovides the optical system with the positive refractive power as itneeds to be so as to reduce the total track length of the imagecapturing optical system. The first lens element has an object-sidesurface being convex in a paraxial region thereof so that it isfavorable for adjusting the distribution of the positive refractivepower and thereby reducing the total track length.

The fifthlens element has an object-side surface being convex in a paraxialregion thereof and an image-side surface being concave in a paraxialregion thereof so as to facilitate enhancing the correction of theastigmatism of the system. When at least one of the object-side surfaceand the image-side surface of the fifth lens element has at least oneconvex shape in an off-axis region thereof, the incident angle of thelight projecting onto an image sensor from the off-axis field can beeffectively suppressed to increase the receiving efficiency of the imagesensor and thereby to further correct the aberration of the off-axisfield.

Preferably, the condition of 0.60<T12/(T23+T34+T45)<4.0 issatisfied.

When an f-number of the image capturing optical system is Fno, and thefollowing condition is satisfied: Fno<1.85, it is favorable forobtaining the advantages of large aperture and improving the peripheralillumination of the optical system.

When an effective radius of the object-side surface of the first lenselement is SD11, an effective radius of the image-side surface of thefifth lens element is SD52, and the following condition is satisfied:1.0<SD11/SD52<1.6, the off-axis field aberration correction can befavorably enhanced.

When the image capturing optical system can further comprise a prismdisposed between the image-side surface of the fifth lens element and animage surface, the prism can be used to change the optical path andthereby to meet the design requirements for compact electronic devices.

According to the image capturing optical system of the presentdisclosure, the lens elements thereof can be made of glass or plasticmaterial. When the lens elements are made of glass material, thedistribution of the refractive power of the image capturing opticalsystem may be more flexible to design. When the lens elements are madeof plastic material, the manufacturing cost can be effectively reduced.Furthermore, surfaces of each lens element can be arranged to beaspheric (ASP), since the aspheric surface of the lens element is easyto form a shape other than spherical surfaces so as to have morecontrollable variables for eliminating the aberration thereof, and tofurther decrease the required number of the lens elements. Therefore,the total track length of the image capturing optical system can bereduced.

According to the image capturing optical system of the presentdisclosure, each of an object-side surface and an image-side surface hasa paraxial region and an off-axis region. The paraxial region refers tothe region of the surface where light rays travel close to the opticalaxis, and the off-axis region refers to the region of the surface awayfrom the paraxial region. Particularly, when the lens element has aconvex surface, it indicates that the surface is convex in the paraxialregion thereof; when the lens element has a concave surface, itindicates that the surface is concave in the paraxial region thereof.Likewise, when the region of refractive power or focus of a lens elementis not defined, it indicates that the region of refractive power orfocus of the lens element is in the paraxial region thereof.

According to the image capturing optical system of the presentdisclosure, an image surface of the image capturing optical system,based on the corresponding image sensor, can be flat or curved,especially a curved surface being concave facing towards the object sideof the optical imaging system.

According to the image capturing optical system of the presentdisclosure, the image capturing optical system can include at least onestop, such as an aperture stop, a glare stop or a field stop. Said glarestop or said field stop is for eliminating the stray light and therebyimproving the image resolution thereof.

According to the image capturing optical system of the presentdisclosure, an aperture stop can be configured as a front stop or amiddle stop. A front stop disposed between an imaged object and thefirst lens element can provide a longer distance between an exit pupilof the image capturing optical system and the image surface and therebyimproves the image-sensing efficiency of an image sensor. A middle stopdisposed between the first lens element and the image surface isfavorable for enlarging the field of view of the image capturing opticalsystem and thereby provides a wider field of view for the same.

The present image capturing optical system can be optionally applied tomoving focus optical systems. According to the image capturing opticalsystem of the present disclosure, the image capturing optical system isfeatured with good correction ability and high image quality, and can beapplied to 3D (three-dimensional) image capturing applications, inproducts such as digital cameras, mobile devices, digital tablets, smartTV, wireless monitoring device, motion sensing input device, drivingrecording system, rear view camera system, wearable devices and otherelectronic devices.
